Patrick Gardner’s career as a professional musician began when, as a child, he became a chorister at Durham Cathedral. There he began a lifelong love affair with the piano and discovered a deep urge to make his own music. Later he studied composition with David Lumsdaine at Durham University, UK.
Patrick works in a variety of styles from musicals and nativity plays for children to fully electronic classical works. Most recently he has won the Audience Vote Prize at the Britten Sinfonia’s OPUS 2018 workshop, with his folk-inspired piece “The Ballad of Sydney Sparrow”.
